I had some problems installing arrayQualityMetrics, just in case anyone find it useful, I post it here the steps I did:
I tried installing the package arrayQualityMetrics as following:

I thought I had all the other dependencies, but by importing each one I found that beadarray reproduce the same error (I don't know why):

Which when I try to install I get the following error:

I found out that I could do the following command:
biocLite("beadarray", dependencies=TRUE, INSTALL_opts = c('--no-lock'))
Which after a long installation and several compilations the beadarray package is installed. After that a simple biocLite("arrayQualityMetrics") worked.

I removed the typo
biocLitey()from your example, which I guess is a common error but doesn't speak to the problem you're trying to help others with!library(BiocInstaller)is a perfectly reasonable thing to do; it is whatsource("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")does when BiocInstaller is already installed. As general advice, it is (at the moment; it is not good practice to source files from the internet) more reliable to evaluatesource("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")and then
biocLite()is available.Usually the lock problem is because a previous installation (of the beadarray package, in this case) failed in an unexpected way. A simpler solution is to troubleshoot the reason for the failure, then use operating system or R commands to follow the advice to
For instance,
unlink("/home/lrevilla/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.3/00LOCK-beadarray"). Then re-install beadarray in the usual fashionbiocLite("beadarray")This will be much easier than re-installing all dependencies. Of course if this fails then one would 'drill down' to the underlying problem, and at some point one might wish to do as you did, forcing re-installation of all dependencies.
Thanks for correcting the typo!
I didn't wanted to mess with locks, and I didn't thought about unlink but thank you for pointing it out.
